Saturday

La Toja cream
Semogue 2012 SE
Long Comb New/JEC handle
Gillette Silver Blue
Barbershop Bay Rum
Fitjar Mint ASB

Nice shave, the first with the New for ages. I think I've got one application of the bay rum left...sad times!
 
Hot flannel
Proraso pre, menthol
Muhle Silvertip, MWF
Gillette Slim, Polsilver SI
Cold splash
Proraso AS cream

Used the Slim for the first time for ages. Excellent results but a touch on the mild side... I'll nudge the setting up tomorrow. Erred on the side of caution, but very nice.
 
Prep: Hot flannel & Warm water splash (Saturday afternoon shave)
Pre: Village Barber oil
Cream: Fitjar "Shea Pleasure"
Brush: unbranded Butterscotch 20mm Silvertip
Razor: Gillette NEW short-comb with templ8 "50-cal" handle
Blade: SuperMax Super Platinum (1)
Post: Osma Alum & Thayer's Lavender witch hazel
ASB: Village Barber balm

I thought I'd try something 'new' today. First time using the NEW razor head and I can safely say that it's by far the most aggressive head I've ever used. Beats the ATT R1 head by far. BBS in 3 passes but weepers everywhere. Needed the alum block AND balm after this shave. So much for a relaxing easy shave.

Tremendous 3 pass shave. I love this little razor - very humble but effective. I may have found my perfect combo with the polsilver. Shave heaven!

Soap from Alepo - Chubby 1 best badger - Gillette Rocket HD 500 - Astra green #1 - Pre JASÖN - Shaving soap Penhaligon's English Fern with tallow - Alum block - Thayers Original Astringent - ASB Health & Aloe CRG - ASL Dr. Harris Arlington cologne.
 
Merkur 45
Personna Platinum
Edwin Jagger boar
Scottish Fine Shaving Soap
Blue Strato a/s

Merkur has a very rounded head which is good (like a Fatboy's) and its lightness makes me bear down a little. With a Personna Platinum it gave a good shave without much irritation (for a first go). The soap I think is a rebranded Mitchell's wool Fat. Smells+ looks and performs like it.

Hi.
Here in Italy you can find the FIGARO tub in almost every Supermarket.
It's a terrific soap with the typical italian almond scent.
I like it very much, and the cost here in Italy is ridiculous : €1.2 per tub.

Regards,
Daniele.
